Abstract
The boron neutron capture therapy treatment planning systems such as SERA and TSUKUBA Plan, which are mainly based on the Monte Carlo method, require the lung physical density and composition of the tissue for the dose calculation. However, the physical density and composition of lungs may change because of diseases such as pneumonia and emphysema. We investigated the effect of the lung physical density on the neutron flux distribution and dose for the lung and tumor.
